The Juvenile Orchestra of Professor
Armillini, !has excited much attention in
our midst, from the skill of execution,
the quiet self controlled movements of
each musician, with the harmonious
blending of each instrument in one
whole Of perfect rhythmic measure, that
at once surprises and awakes admiring
pleasure. Miss Ild1ca Eisenmaver
with her sister Tertilla have been pupils
ofthe professors for some three wears.
In that time with love of the art, and
With constant practice they have become
surprisingly proficient violinists. A
yohng girl who is also member of
this orchestra, Miss Hattie Copeland is
proficient indeed in her musical execu-
ton upon the violin; while Masters
Lobe and Kuttner display much talent
as musicians and are great additions to
TINS most excellent and rare Juvenile
Orchestra.

The last picture in the ladies' Benefit
entertainment given in Little Rock, de-
serves something more than passing
notice. This was the tableaux of the
Emotions presented by Miss Carrie
Cohen. This young lady who has
studied in the Boston school of oratory,
with especial studies in the pose delinia-
ton rendered last week some statuesque
pictures Of scorn, humiliation, happi-
ness, repose, revenge, grief, etc. To a
tall and handsome figure Miss Cohen
adds grace, and elegant movement. The
soft flowing drapery of Grecian robe
fell in folds that almost seemed like CHS
eled marble about this fair woman. The
dark background, the concentration of
light upon the tall stately figure upon
the stage, brought out in minute distinct
ness the pose, the attitude, the gesture
of each emotion, until one seemed to have
looked at sculptured art chiseled by a
hand that controlled the power of ma
ture and form, and who wrought them
into lines and curves OF exquisit~ grace.
The German which was given by Mr..
and Mrs. Zeb Ward Jr. was very ell
giant affair. The favors were furnished
by Mrs. Ward and were very beautiful.
A delightful repast was served late in
the evening, the salad having been Or
dered from Kinsley's in Chicago.

=" Give, Give ~

" 1t is give, give, give all the time"
" What beggars these ministers are!"
" Somebody is always wanting some
thing" These and kindred express
sions of Impotence are constantly
greeting eye and ear. But why should
we be impatient at these solicitations?
Why should we not give, give? Is not
that just what the dear Father is doing
for us all the time? Suppose that he
should for one moment cease his
giving-what would become of us?
And what he has so freely bestowed
has he not right to expect that we in
our turn will give to others? And pray
tell us what is loving but giving-a
going out of something from ourselves
toward some other person or thing?
And can we be happy if we do not
love? We must, therefore, by very
necessity of our nature, both love and
give constantly. We must give SYM
pathy, interest, affection and money,
when that is needed and we have it to
give. We are told that "God is love, !"
and the very highest expression of that
love to us is found in the fact that he
has so made us that we cannot be happy
without loving and giving. Do not,
then, grieve your good pastor by re-
luctant giving, but esteem him your
best friend when he shows you how
and where to give.-1he Pacific.

1t is related by Professor Bell that
when friend of his was travelling
abroad he one morning took out his
purse to see if it contained sufficient
change for days jaunt he intended
making. He departed from his lodg-
ings, leaving trusted dog behind.
When he dined he took out his purse
to pay, and found he had lost a gold
coin from it, On returning home in
the evening his servants informed him
that the dog seemed very i'll, as they
could not induce him to eat anything.
He went at once to his favorite, and
as soon as he entered the room the
faithful creature ran to him, deposited
the gold coin at his feet, and then de-
voured the food placed for him with great
eagerness. The truth was that the
gentleman had dropped the coin in the
morning; the dog had picked it up and
kept it in his mouth, fearing even TO
eat lest he should lose his masters prop
erty before an opportunity offered to
restore Chambers Journal.

Advice to Young Married People.

Young wives and husbands cannot
be too strongly reminded of the prob
able shipwreck they will make of their
happiness if they yield to that ill-temper
which expresses itself in discourtesy,
want of compliance, unnecessary oppo-
sition, and, above all, that most dis
astrous amusement of nagging."
Hundreds of households have gone
wrong for the mere want of checking
in time the habit of annoying, as
relief to momentary feeling of irrita-
ton or discomfort. The wife who
gets into the way of contradicting, of
s. checking" her husband, of opposing
him in small things and standing out in
large ones; the husband who is sneer-
ing, contemptuous, tyrannical, fault
finding; perhaps neither side knowing
the whole extent of its folly, but Just
giving way to it as more easy than to
fight and conquer it-these young peo-
pie are doing their best to dig the grave
OF their married peace, and some day
poor, pale, fainting little love will fall
into it, stark and plumeless, and will
never rise to life again. In the begin
ming these little tiffs and discomforts
are made up with kiss from him and
a few tears from her to add cement to
the reconciliation. BY time the tiffs
are more acrid and the reconciliation is
less warm. BY still further time this
never comes at all, and things get into
that chronic state where there is never
a formal healing, but an overwhelming
rift and never-ending GOODNESS. Then
the two lives jar and grind like rusty

Morning and Jesus.

Believe me, my friends, you and l,
as we get older, get more practical.
We come, as the saying is, more to the
point. We want to know how our theo-
ries wear. 1t is not so much time for
the criticism of styles of ship-building

contradiction, that Christ, and Christ
alone, can rescue and redeem and save /;
that only he can give peace and rest
and Joy on earth below, and then bring
us at last in safety to our desired haven.
l am perfectly certain of one thing
that the brightest countenances, the
healthiest influences and the happiest
lives that have ever known have been
Christian ones. " By their fruits We
shall know them," says our blessed
Lord, and we may well say, as the Psalm
ist said of the king, In thy salvation,
how greatly shall he rejoice" and as
he says of the nation, too, Happy art
thou, O Israeli who is like unto thee,
o people, saved by the Lord, the shield
of thy help, and who is the sword of
thine excellency. The eternal God is
thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms. Thy shoes shall be
iron and brass; and as thy days, so
shall thy strength be-" The mornings

Der, second time; but they live in
memory, and we can never hide them
from ourselves in the after-years,
though God can forgive their iniqui-
ties and blot out all their transgres-
sions." Let our life-mornings, then,
be full of the golden sunshine of the
presence and the love of God our Saw
Tor, and as you read these lines, quietly
and alone, do you, who are the fathers
and mothers, make more manifest to
your children that your early blessed
ness, when you started on life's Jour-
ney together, was found alone in Christ,

enough to take brothers. counsel who
comes to you with scrip and staff after
some years of pilgrimage, for his clos
ing word is this-that the chief Joy of
life is to-day to write and to speak of
the dear Christ who made the morning
of life a journey in the sunshine, and
whose grace and mercy leave it now a
pleasant picture in the memory, as
filled with the faithfulness of Christ to
his promise, "My Joy no man taketh
from you" -Rer. W. F. iStatham, in

Written for the Waterman.
Our Helps.

A little girl was spending some
months in our home. One night, after
evening devotions, she came to me
and said: "Please tell me how you
feel and what you think when you
kneel and close your eyes in prayer"
Well" l said, {" 1 try to feel when 1
close my eyes that have shut out the
world, with its cares, and that / am in
the immediate presence of my Savior,
and then try to tell him all my wants
and DESIRES" She replied, Z" l am so
glad you told me; / shall do just as you
do" AT another time she said, Please
talk to me about Now l lay me down
TO Sleep" / said, Just as you are
about to lay your head on your pillow
Just think that Jesus is bending over
you to hear what you would say to
him, and say, Now lay me down to
Sleep and then ask him, while you
sleep and are all unconscious and help
less, to keep you, and if from any cause
you should die and never awake ask
him to take you to heaven" At
another time she was anticipating much
pleasure in attending pastoral visit in
an adjoining parish, and was fearful it
might storm so as to prevent our going.
Well, the time came. We went and
had fine sleigh-ride and a delightful
time, but just as we arrived home a
very violent storm came on. She came
to me and told me she knew why it did
not storm until we got home. / said,
Tell me-" She answered by saying,
Il have been praying that it might
not storm all the week, and God heard
and answered my prayer" and thus
my faith was strengthened. / write
these little incidents simply to illustrate
how blessed it is to help the children
in these familiar ways, and by so doing
we receive much more than we bestow.
Some one has said, 81 expect to pass
through the world but once. There
fore any good thing that can do, or
any kindness 1 can show to any human
being, let me do it now. Let me not
neglect or defer it, for shall not pass
this way again" Let this be our
motto to act upon, " A strong heart is
better than strong head to do good"

To-Day it Cleanseth.

"But if we walk in the light, as he is
in the light, we have fellowship one
with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all
sin !" q. John i: y. You perceive
that it is written in the present tense,
as if to indicate continuance. 1t will
always be so with you, Christian. 1t
was so yesterday; it was 'cleanseth ,
yesterday; it is cleanseth, to-day; it
will be cleanseth tomorrow; it will be
cleanseth until you cross the river.
Every day you may come to this foun-
tain, for it cleanseth.' Every hour you
may stand by its brim, for it cleanseth.'
/ think there is sanctification here as
well as justification. / am inclined to
believe that this text has been too much
limited in its Interpretation, and that it
signifies that the blood of Jesus is con-
stantly operating upon the man who
walks in the light, so as to cleanse him
from the indwelling power of sin; and
the Spirit of God applies the doctrine of
the atonement, to the production of
purity, till the soul becomes completely
pure from sin. 1 desire to feel every
day the constantly purifying effect of
the sacrifice of my Lord and Master.
Look at the foot of the cross, and l am
sure you will feel that the precious
drops cleanse from all sin. &C. II.
